Cleaning Cycle on Sage or Breville Bambino Plus When Prompted

In this short guide, I demonstrate what to do when the Sage or Breville Bambino Plus prompts you to enter a cleaning cycle (backflushing) by flashing the one and two cup shot buttons.
Scroll to the bottom for timecodes.

I've spoken about this before in theory, but as the machine recently prompted me to run a cleaning cycle I thought I'd demonstrate what to do when this happens.

In my next video, I'll be talking about how to manually backflush your espresso machine when not prompted by the machine, as I believe that water-only (without cleaning tablet) backflushing should be done fairly regularly. Subscribe and allow notifications to see that video when it's uploaded.
